Neville Goddard on Mark 4:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

Mark 4:6-7

Biblical Context

Some seeds are scorched by the sun or choked by thorns, failing to grow. The passage warns that without deep roots and undistracted faith, no fruit appears.

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 4:6-7 reveals the law as experienced in your inner life. The seed is a state of consciousness planted in the soil of I AM. The sun that scorches is the heat of appearances that test your belief; without a root of unwavering awareness, the thought cannot endure and withers into fear or doubt. The thorns are your wandering cares—habits of worry, attachment to outcomes, and the clamor of daily concerns—that choke the plant and prevent fruit. To bear fruit you must cultivate a state that can weather the sun and resist the thorns. The remedy is to claim I AM as your living center, to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and to stand in that inner reality regardless of outward appearances. When distractions arise, revise the scene: you are already rooted, you are already fruitful, and the outer crop will follow in due season. Remember, the kingdom is within; your imagination, properly tended, reshapes the world to match your inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM rooted and fruitful' and feel it real for a few minutes. When distractions arise, revise them by returning to that root in I AM.
